I agree with you. A private editor or the ability to have tabs will be useful. The learning part did cross my mind, but I wanted to focus on a specific use-case instead of diluting the message by pitching it as a general purpose tool. alth

Thank you! Mind if I emailed you to ask you some questions on that? :)

Totally agree with you. Wanted to get this out of the door - otherwise I tend to keep adding "one more feature".

Do you see any errors in the developer console? I have been testing this for a while and it did work on Chrome 25. Chrome 26 was released only last week. Sometimes, I am not able to distinguish between a missing mic/webcam and genuine webrt

6 person team x 30 minutes = 3 hours lost. If you have daily stand-ups, why would you have 30 minutes worth of update per person? This whole article is pretty extreme. Standups, just like any other process (light-weight or otherwise) is o

Very similar analytics work takes places in the telecom industry with respect to customer churn. However, this typically requires a large data size for it to be accurate. So, I wonder how many companies are large enough to benefit from it.

The actual app itself looks pretty neat. However, I see their pricing and it's "$1 per user per month". If anyone from LeChat is reading this - you should charge more. Although it appears like having a lower price is a differentiator, in re

I find TDD to be useful in two cases: 1. When I already know what I'm doing and it's just a matter of coding what's already in my mind 2. When I'm writing in a dynamically typed language, it forces me to be not lazy and have adequate test

Microservices are not necessarily bad, but one should also be aware of the drawback of such an approach. If there is a very tight coupling between two modules, you will often find yourself having to keep making changes between 2 different m

Hmm, I found some of the criticism unfair. E.g. the example with "baz = foo->bar(3);". Yes, "bar" could be a number of things here, but that's why variable naming conventions help. The point about operator overloading is accepted, but

Unless you selected a platform that is too complex to start with. I think that many of the PaaS companies I see today are here mainly for two reasons: Rails & Java frameworks. Can't speak for Heroku but with EC2 you get the ability to

I greatly admire what WordPress did for the web; to say that we want to be the WordPress of forums is not a stretch at all. Going with Ruby (Rails?) is a sane choice from a development point of view, but a lot of shared hosts still only s

Think about something you're passionate about. Or were passionate about when you were in high school. Write it down. Programming. Then apply this test: Will people pay you for it? Will they pay you a lot for it? YES. Okay, perhaps this

There are lots of worthwhile problems to solve in the enterprise space - none of which can be solved from the comforts of your chair. This is precisely why many people lean towards B2C. They think that yet another photo-sharing app is eas

Thanks for that link. This quote is especially resounding: Ask, "how does Python already solve my problem?" and "What Python language feature most resembles my problem?"

Reading this reminded me of 9rules[1], which used to be pretty popular some 8-10 years back but eventually withered away. As with most communities, scaling svbtle without comprising on the quality is going to be the greatest challenge. [1]:

I'm not disagreeing about the complexity, but you can choose to use a sane subset of the language and do away with all the other stuff. Map, filter, anonymous functions and type inference already puts it way ahead of Java in terms of produc
